211. Add and Search Word - Data structure design

Design a data structure that supports the following two operations:

void addWord(word)

bool search(word)

search(word) can search a literal word or a regular expression string containing only letters a-z or .. A . means it can represent any one letter.

Example:

addWord("bad")

addWord("dad")

addWord("mad")

search("pad") -> false

search("bad") -> true

search(".ad") -> true

search("b..") -> true

Note:

You may assume that all words are consist of lowercase letters a-z.

难度：medium

题目：

设计数据结构支持以下两操作：

void addWord(word)

bool search(word)

search(word) 可以查单词或包含.的正则表达式。 .可以表示任何单个字符。

注意：

你可以假定所有单词仅由小写字母组成。
